A.O.C., located in Brentwood and owned by chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne, will close its doors after 16 years due to a combination of factors affecting the independent restaurant industry in Los Angeles. Key contributors to the closure include the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent actors' and writers' strikes, and rising operational costs compounded by high rents. While this location will shut down, the original A.O.C. in West Hollywood will remain open. The owners expressed heartfelt gratitude towards their staff and loyal customers in their announcement.
The aftereffects of COVID-19, the actors' and writers' strikes, the fires, and unsustainably high rents have all significantly impacted independent restaurants' viability.
As we close A.O.C. in Brentwood, we want to express gratitude to our loyal customers and staff who've been part of this remarkable journey.
